The pathogen tries to infect the body. The defense mechanism of the body resists the entry of the pathogen. If pathogen succeeds the infection is established and the body becomes sick.

Once the body encounters a pathogen and destroys it what is created?
Once the body activated, killer T cells it recognize pathogen and destroy them. In response that will create memory B cells and T cells specific to a certain pathogen, so if it ever came back it will be killed immediately.
What happens once the body has been expose to a pathogen?
This type of reponse is the adaptive response which develops over the life span and "learns" and "remembers". This makes antibodies in response to antigens.
What is a true pathogen and an opportunistic pathogen?
True Pathogen- are capable of causing disease in healthy persons with normal immune defenses ex. influenza virus, plague bacillus, and ect Opportunistic pathogen- cause disease when the host's defenses are compromised or when they grow in part of the body that is not natural to them
What is a rise in body temperature that is used to help the immune system fight a pathogen?
A fever happens in order to weaken the pathogens inside the body. Once they are weakened, it is hard for them to reproduce and it is easier for the body to dispose of the pathogens. But if a fever gets too high, it breaks down protiens and can lead to permanent brain damage and damage to other parts of the body.
Why would you not suffer any symptoms if you are exposed to the infection again?
With SOME diseases (not all of them) once you are exposed to the disease your body develops an immunity to that disease.
How long does it take for gasoline to explode once it's exposed?
Depends on factors such as temperature but normally it happens very fast
What happens when ice is exposed to warm air?
When ice is exposed to warm air, the ice will begin to melt and become a liquid once more
How can you build immunity to disease in people?
by catching it and getting over it will sometimes makey you immune but there is really no way to become 'immune' to a diseaseThe immune system has the capacity to adapt to new diseases and generate pathogen-specific immunity.
If a pathogen is in drinking water what will it cause?
A very broad answer to a very broad question... A "pathogen" as defined by a dictionary would be, "any disease-producing agent, esp. a virus, bacterium, or other microorganism." First- a "pathogen" in drinking water will cause nothing unless someone or something drinks the water or if the "pathogen" enters the body/host by some other means... Second- even once the "pathogen" enters the body it may still cause nothing, as the quantity of the "pathogen" must be sufficient to cause the would be disease... Third- because a "pathogen" could be any one of millions of things, what disease would be caused by your hypothetical "pathogen in the drinking water" would depend entirely on what it is... You should seriously consider being more specific about your question. If you are interested in a specific pathogen and the associated disease, please try again.
What are white blood cells that can engulf pathogens called?
once the White blood cell (WBC) recognizes a pathogen it will use its plasma membrane to engulf the pathogen (endocytosis). the plasma membrane wraps itself around the pathogen bringing it in to the cytoplasm of the cell. it then will break off once the pathogen is inside enough. the pathogen with its surrounding plasma membrane forms an vesicle inside the larger macrophage (WBC). the vesicle and its contents are digested by the cell through the use of digestive enzymes and lysosomes.
If the same pathogen invades the body twice it will be recognized and destroyed more quickly the second time because of what?
Memory B cells act like an internal vaccine because once it fights the pathogen off it will recognize it. This is how they make vaccines because they inject you with a small amount of the pathogen not enough to harm you so your memory B cells recognize it.
How the body's white blood cells respond to infection?
Once the white blood cells realise that there is a pathogen (unwanted microbe) in the body, it tracks it down and tries to destroy it. They do this by fully engulfing the microbe or sending antibodies to stick to the microbe therefore making it harmless. The white blood cell then remembers this pathogen so that it is prepared if it comes again.
